EnGenius ECW270 review – Cloud managed 4×4 WiFi 6 outdoor access point

Engenius ECW270 AP 1

REVIEW – As I continue to replace all of my network equipment, the next step is to add another Access Point to replace the one I lost when I replaced my Netgear Router with the EnGenius ESG620 VPN Router. Having one that can be installed outdoors would be perfect, since the one I removed was

OnePlus Pad 3 review – This Android tablet gives you a lot of bang for your buck!

oneplus pad 3 21

REVIEW – If you’re a regular visitor/reader of The Gadgeteer, you’ll know that I’m (stuck) in the Apple ecosystem. I have an iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, MacBook, and an iPad Pro. This doesn’t mean I’m anti-Android, though, because I also use Android devices, such as the OnePlus 13 smartphone, which I often use as a backup

Flying Eagle F5S+ Inline Skates review – solid build and lots of 90s flashbacks

Flying Eagle F5S inline skates 1 2025 06 12 212429

REVIEW – I haven’t strapped on a pair of skates in decades, but I have fond memories of skating rinks and street hockey as an 80s/90s kid. I loved being able to get around my neighborhood in style, so there was definitely a bit of nostalgia contributing to my willingness to try out the Flying

CYCROWN Dremax E-bike review – One of the best E-bikes I’ve ridden

CYCROWN Dremax Ebike 11

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed and ridden a few E-bikes and I love seeing the different styles and functionality that different companies incorporate into their designs. Recently, the opportunity to review the CYCROWN Dremax E-bike came up and I jumped at the chance. The way that the battery is incorporated into the frame as well as

Makita Maktrak Rolling Tool Chest review – take your tools with you

makita maktrak 1

REVIEW – My neighbor is an electrician, and like a lot of folks in the professional trades, he travels to the job sites where he works.  He brings his own tools, which are inevitably piled into the back of a large pickup, and then hauls them around from room-to-room as he works.  For craftsmen like

Potensic ATOM 2 drone review – a great sub-250g option

potensic atom 2 drone 37

REVIEW – I’ve flown drones since the earliest days of cheap(ish) consumer drones, including the DJI Spark in 2017. Since then, I’ve used quite a few DJI drones, ranging from Mini’s and Air’s up to various Mavics (which are bigger and heavier than the sub-250g compact drone type). I’ve also used other brands like the

Lemolify Cordless Pressure Washer review – Great for light duty chores!

Lemolify CordlessPressureWasher 23

REVIEW – A pressure washer is great for cleaning your outdoor stuff, but sometimes those bigger blasters can be overkill. This is where the Lemolify Cordless Pressure Washer enters the chat. This little fellow is lightweight, portable, stowable and claims to be good enough for general light-duty functions. How does it do in our tests?

Xerox VersaLink C415 color multifunction printer review – Productivity at work or home

Xerox VersaLink C415 01

REVIEW – I owned a color inkjet printer about 20 years ago or more. I got so paranoid about “wasting color” that I just printed in black and white- until all the cartridges dried out. I didn’t care for the often smear-prone prints, or the hit and miss color performance. I stuck with black and

LUNYEE 3018 Pro Ultra CNC Machine review – a great entry to the world of CNC

LUNYEE 3018 pro ultra cnc 11

REVIEW – I’ve had some great opportunities here at the Gadgeteer to try out a variety of crafting tools like laser cutters/engravers and 3D printers, but one product type has eluded me so far: the CNC machine. That changes today, since I’ve had the pleasure of checking out the LUNYEE 3018 Pro Ultra CNC Machine

XPPen Magic Note Pad review – Does a 3-in-1 approach work?

XPPen Magic Note Pad 19

REVIEW – As the number and types of smart tablets proliferate, the choices just get better. Apple’s iPad may not have been the first tablet, but it proved how useful and popular tablets could become. And boy, did they become popular with many to choose from in all price and feature categories. There are now

Lemolify 4 in 1 WeedTrimmer 29

REVIEW – It’s yard maintenance time, folks! The weeds need trimming, the grass needs cutting, and the shrubs need trimming! I’m testing the Lemolify 4-in-1 Weed Trimmer that promises to deliver on all of those chores with multiple blade attachments, cordless operation, and a few extra accessories to accommodate different chores. How did it hold

Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra review – Robotic pool cleaning at its best

BBAS 01

REVIEW – Looking for the top contender in pool cleaning robots? The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra should be on your list, knowing that its price is up there. What that gets you, however, is multi-modal cleaning, AI mapping, 4 plus hours, depending on cleaning mode, and a charging dock that makes sure it’s ready to

MIXX StreamQ TV Headphones and Transmitter Bundle review – wireless headphones for your TV

mixx streamqtv 01

REVIEW – I am very much a night owl. Always have been. And as usual for couples who have been married a long time, my wife is not. Never has been. Watching TV late at night is difficult in our tiny home. Sound travels, and my wife is a light sleeper. The MIXX StreamQ TV

Cybersight Guardian HUD Glasses review – wearable tech that helps keep you safe on the road

Cybersight Guardian Review 6

REVIEW – Cycling is one of my favorite ways to stay active, get outside, and enjoy nature – but lets face it, sharing the road with motor vehicles can make even the most seasoned riders anxious.  I do my utmost to be vigilant and aware of my surroundings when on the bike, and the Guardian
